Is anyone tired of the tactical shotgun?

DISCUSSION

After basically 5 months of the same shotgun meta I' m kinda tired of the shotgun spam, I do many kills with it but I barely aim with it, while the pump shotgun even with aiming does 50 damage.. the tac is too consistent while the pump isn' t. I want the shotgun meta to change

The tac definitely feels a bit overbearing but that's because the common pumps are much weaker while the strong pumps (purple and gold) are rare to find. So in comparison, the tac does feel stronger.

To compare in season 10 the balance wasn't too bad because the blue pump was 100 bodyshot and pretty easy to find but the blue pump now doesn't hold a candle.

Yeah, with the pump at least you could counter, now I' m tired to die with 200 hp against a green tac, I can' t hit every shot with the pump, and the terrible performance recently doesn' t help. They shoot me in the back, by the time I react they already shoot twice, I shoot with the pump, I may do tons of damage, but they can still shoot me 2-3 times in that period, and every shot with 50/70 damage each. I' m tired to kill that way too, shooting aimlessly and eliminate the enemy with ease. It' s not normal imo.

For this loot pool it' s certainly stronger than when there was the combat and the more consistent pump. If they want to keep the consistent damage they should lower the fire rate to at least 1.2 for at least the gray to blue tacs. Or just remove the tac completely and add a new/old shotgun (Imo the heavy should be added back).
